General Information 6280 TouchCenter
This guide provides information on installing and setting up Honeywell's
6280 TouchCenter Keypads. The 6280 Series graphical touch-screen
keypads are Advanced User Interface (AUI) devices, which combine
control of your security system, multi-media and premises lighting.
Compatibility: For a list of alarm systems that the TouchCenter can
interface with, refer to the Compatibility Table in this document.
Wiring
IMPORTANT: If you power the TouchCenter from your panel’s auxiliary
power output, check your panel’s Installation and Setup Guide and verify
that this device and others do not exceed your panel’s auxiliary power
output capability; if it does, a supplementary power supply is needed.
Word List
The 6280 TouchCenter can annunciate a series of words. You must use
the vocabulary list in your alarm panel instructions for actual words that
may be annunciated; refer to the Word List in this document.

UL
Use a UL Listed, battery-backed supply for UL installations. The battery supplies power to these keypads in case of AC power loss. The battery-backed power
supply should have enough power to supply the keypads with the UL required minimum standby power time.
IMPORTANT: Keypads powered from supplies that do not have a backup battery do not function if AC power is lost. Make sure to power at least one keypad in
each partition from the control’s auxiliary power output or UL Listed battery backed up power supply.
IMPORTANT: When the TouchCenter is powered from an auxiliary power supply, always apply power to the control panel first and then the TouchCenter. Failure to observe
this sequence results in improper operation of the TouchCenter and may result in an ECP Error indication.
Connect the wires to the TouchCenter terminal block as shown.
•Connect the TouchCenter in parallel with keypads and other peripheral devices using the keypad data (ECP) bus.
•If the TouchCenter is used as the primary system keypad, maximum wire run length is 150 feet.
•If more than one keypad is wired to one run, then the maximum lengths must be divided by the number of keypads on the run. (e.g., the maximum length is 75 feet if two keypads are
wired on a #22 gauge run).
Note: Unshielded 4-conductor cable is recommended for the power/data wire.

Initial Setup
Programming the Control Panel
The TouchCenter is not fully operational unless its address in the control panel
has been enabled (set as an alpha console) AUI type device, and assigned to a
partition (where applicable).
We recommend that you use either a standard alpha keypad or the TouchCenter in
Console Emulation Mode when programming the control panel. When in the
Console Mode, the TouchCenter emulates an alpha keypad and the programming
of the panel is performed following the procedures provided in your panel’s
Installation & Setup Guide.
Note: When programming your control panel, if you change the zone types for your
emergency zones you may disable the emergency icons in the TouchCenter. The
emergency icons in the TouchCenter are active for zone types 06 and 07 (Panic
icon), 08 (Medical icon), and 09 (Fire icon). Additionally, the Medical icon is also
compatible with a zone type 15 (24-Hour Medical) for panels that contain this zone
type.
The TouchCenter should not be assigned as a Master Console. If the TouchCenter
is assigned as a Master Console, partitions must be controlled from the Partition
screen or by using the Console Emulation Mode.
TouchCenter Initialization
When initially powered, the screen displays the boot sequence and the "Set ECP
Address" screen is displayed. If the system is incorporating only one TouchCenter,
leave the address set to 1 and touch Apply. The boot-up process continues until
completion. If there are to be additional TouchCenter units in the system, after
enabling addresses in the control panel using an alpha-keypad, power-up each
TouchCenter one at a time, and set its address to one of the addresses you
enabled in the control panel.
Note: If the top of the screen is displaying ECP Error, the TouchCenter ECP
Address is not valid for the panel that it is connected to. To change the ECP
Address, enter the default code of “4140” to advance to the next screen.
Note: 4140 is the TouchCenter default installer code before connecting to a
control panel. Once connected to a control panel, use the panel’s installer code.
Change the ECP Address on the unit, using the Up/Down arrows and then touch
apply to accept the address and reset the TouchCenter. Once communication has
been restored, then use the standard panel installer code for all installer
functions. Refer to “ECP Setup” section.
Time/Date Setup
If not already set from the panel, set the current time and date. Refer to
“Time/Date Setup” section.
NIGHT Setup
The TouchCenter is defaulted to arm the system in the STAY INSTANT mode
when arming the system using the NIGHT icon.
Select the arming mode to be activated when the NIGHT icon is touched on the
"Arming" screen, refer to “Night Setup” section.

Operating Modes
Automatic Entry- In the rare event that the TouchCenter cannot
successfully communicate in its graphic mode with the control
panel, the TouchCenter displays “Problems detected. Start Keypad
in Safe Mode?” and requests a “Yes” or “No” response. If you
answer with “Yes”, the TouchCenter enters into the Safe Mode. If
you answer with “No”, the TouchCenter tries to communicate with
the panel again. After 3 consecutive times of receiving no response,
the TouchCenter enters the Safe Mode automatically.
Manual Entry - Note: ONLY enter the Safe Mode from the
Normal Mode. Entering the Safe Mode from the Demo Mode may
result in incorrect display of the Emergency Function keys.
Operating in the Safe Mode
This is a limited mode of operation. While in this mode:
• You can use the Security icon to access the Console
Emulation Mode of operation to try to clear your faults,
disarm the system, or enter additional Alpha Keypad
commands specified in your panel User and Installation
Guides. You can perform almost all functions that you can
perform from a standard non-graphic alpha keypad.

User Code Setup
Each user must be assigned a name with a corresponding 4-digit
user code in order to gain access to various features and functions.
The TouchCenter can hold the identity for 10 Users in its memory.
If additional Users are needed, define the additional Users using
the Console Emulation Mode.
Users for the system are programmed in a central user setup
location that provides the specific questions for authorization
levels assigned to different users. You may want these users to be
the same, but there are situations in which you may want a user
to have limited capabilities.
User Related Note
•Users added to the system using the TouchCenter graphic user
screen must be deleted from the TouchCenter using the graphic
screen as well. Deleting users from the panel by any other
means (alpha keypad, console emulation mode, or Compass
downloader) does not automatically delete them from the
TouchCenter.

Away mode, the TouchCenter beeps continuously throughout the
exit period.
• Use the console emulation mode for the following functions:
- Programming more than 10 system users.
- Programming the Pager report option for users of residential
control panels (e.g., VISTA-15P and VISTA-20P).
